None of this means that Clarke is insensitive to the minutiae of human lives, or to our deepest feelings: his beautiful, sentimental "Dog Star", about an astronaut having to part with his beloved dog when he goes to live on a lunar observatory, is about the closest any short story has come to moistening my ever-dry eyes. (It's also one of a few examples in Clarke's work of a rational mind struggling with an experience that borders on the supernatural, and never coming completely to terms with the scientific explanation.)
उनकी खासियत यह थी कि भले ही उनकी कथाओं में आला दर्जे का विज्ञान होता था, उनका लेखन बेहद सरल, मनोरंजक और प्रभावी था।
